Emotions (like regret) are not falsifiable, because they are not scientific phenomena. Similarly, you cannot have a scientific study on whether art is good, or if god is real, because they are by definition unscientific phenomena. That is why unscientific studies like this post, should not be allowed in a forum on science.
But perhaps the more important point here, is that conflating unscientific matters with actual science, has been at the heart of the anti-science movement, since science was discovered. It makes it much easier to discredit all of science as a whole, when you start claiming that social studies is science.
There are falsifiable hypotheses in this study.

You truly have no idea what you’re talking about with regards to science, hypotheses, and how they work.
I’m curious what you think the scientific method is
You should look it up for yourself if you don’t think subjective experiences can be defined and measured in an objective and falsifiable way.
You could, for example, conduct a falsifiable experiment related to people’s perception of color or heat or their night vision.
Subjective, by definition, cannot be objective. It sounds like you’re talking about social studies.
